Engineered wood questions from Whitstable customers
Can you supply samples?
Yes — sample boards are brought to your Whitstable address at the survey, and we keep a board library in our Gillingham warehouse.
How long does a Whitstable engineered wood fit take?
A typical 30m² room in Whitstable is around 3 days including acclimatisation, prep, fitting and trim. Herringbone takes longer.
Can you fit herringbone oak in a Whitstable period property?
Yes — herringbone is one of our most-requested formats in older Whitstable properties. We template the room, set the centreline carefully and finish with a proper border and threshold detail.
Can the floor be refinished later?
Yes — most quality engineered boards can be sanded back and refinished 1-3 times depending on wear-layer thickness.
Will engineered wood work over underfloor heating?
Yes — engineered wood is the recommended real-wood option over UFH. We glue down and commission the heating gradually to avoid any board movement.
